Movie Reviews of The Red Balloon (Released by Janus Films, in association with the Criterion Collection)
Movie Review: 42 Years Ago
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie for the first time over 42 years ago, in 1967. I cried then. When I saw it again, yesterday, I cried again. It makes you happy; it makes you sad, and then it makes you happy again. An absolutely beautiful movie. It allows us to look into the mirror and ask, "Are YOU the kid with the balloon, or are YOU one of the OTHER kids?" For 34 minutes, you're on an emotional roller coaster. Hang on. It's worth the ride. The DVD was perfect. Outstanding color. Looks like it was made yesterday. No scratches, and no problem with sound. Thanks, Amazon, for the trip back into yesteryear !!! There is some speaking in French (I think) with written English translation, but it doesn't detract from the movie. This movie doesn't need a single word to be said !!
